THE LEFT CAN'T AFFORD TO GO MAD
The Trump years had a radicalizing effect on the American right. But, let's be honest, they also sent many on the left completely around the bend. Some liberals, particularly upper-middle-class white ones, cracked up because other people couldn't see what was obvious to them: that Trump was a bad candidate and an even worse president.

THE PSYCHIC TOLL
There were times, during the first two years of the Biden presidency, when I came close to forgetting about it all: the taunts and the provocations; the incitements and the resentments; the disorchestrated reasoning; the verbal incontinence; the press conferences fueled by megalomania, vengeance, and a soupçon of hydroxychloroquine. I forgot, almost, that we'd had a man in the White House who governed by tweet.

TRUMP WILL SUPPRESS AMERICAN HISTORY
This past fall, in a small southern foundry, Robert E. Lee's face was placed on a furnace that reached a temperature of more than 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. As the heat mounted, a haunting orange-red glow appeared across Lee's severed visage, and the cracks that split his bronze cheeks began to look like streams of dark tears beneath his eyes.

THE TRUTH WON'T MATTER
\"I have a gut,\" Donald Trump announced in 2018, \"and my gut tells me more sometimes than anybody else's brain can ever tell me.\" The president's gut would go on to inform him that climate change is partisan propaganda; that COVID-19 might be cured through the injection of bleach; that any election that fails to produce a Trump victory must be rigged.

A WAR ON BLUE AMERICA
During his term in the White House, Donald Trump governed as a wartime president with blue America, rather than any foreign country, as the adversary. He sought to use national authority to achieve factional ends to impose the priorities of red America onto Democratic-leaning states and cities. The agenda Trump has laid out for a second term makes clear that those bruising and divisive efforts were only preliminary skirmishes.

CIVIL RIGHTS UNDONE
In late 2020, even as the instigators of insurrection were marshaling their followers to travel to Washington, D.C., another kind of coup-a quieter onewas in the works. On December 21, in one of his departing acts as attorney general, Bill Barr submitted a proposed rule change to the White House. The change would eliminate the venerable standard used by the Justice Department to handle discrimination cases, known as \"disparate impact.\"

EXTREMISTS EMBOLDENED
Until the very end of his presidency, Donald Trump's cultivation of the Proud Boys, the Oath Keepers, and other violent far-right groups was usually implicit. He counted on their political support but stopped short of asking them to do anything.

TRUMP WILL GET AWAY WITH IT
If Donald Trump regains the presidency, he will once again become the chief law-enforcement officer of the United States. There may be no American leader less suited to \"take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed,\" as the Constitution directs the president. But that authority comes with the office, including command of the Justice Department and the FBI.

WOMEN WILL BE TARGETS
Strange as this might be to say of the only American president found legally liable for sexual abuse, the only leader of the free world accused of dangling a TV gig in front of a porn performer seemingly as an enticement for sex, the only commander in chief to publicly denigrate the sexual attractiveness of both Heidi Klum (\"no longer a 10\") and Angelina Jolie (\"not a great beauty\"), I don't believe Donald Trump hates women. Not by default, anyway. \"When it comes to the women who are not only dutifully but lovingly catering to his desires,\" the philosopher Kate Manne wrote in her 2017 book, Down Girl, \"what's to hate?\"

LOYALISTS, LAPDOGS, AND CRONIES
When Donald Trump first took office, he put a premium on what he called \"central casting\" hires-people with impressive résumés who matched his image of an ideal administration official. Yes, he brought along his share of Steve Bannons and Michael Flynns. But there was also James Mattis, the decorated four-star general who took over the Defense Department, and Gary Cohn, the Goldman Sachs chief operating officer who was appointed head of the National Economic Council, and Rex Tillerson, who left one of the world's most profitable international conglomerates to become secretary of state.
